Here's Richness.

CHICAGO, January 31.-The Chicago
Tribune special from Lincoln, Neb.,
saws: Two miles south of this city
stands palatial residence owned by an
English gentleman, long since identified
with the Mormon church. The resi-
dence has been uuteoanted for the last
two wears, save by an old servant man
named White, who at one time was con-
nected with the Jezrels of London,
sect similar 20 the Mormons. White
claims that he was defrsuded by them
out of his property, and latterly became
converted to the Mormon faith. He
says: 1.-TWO months ago there arrived
at the mansion an old gentleman bear
Ing letters from my master in London,
the purpose of which was to obey his
every wish and to keep his presence
secret to all except those to
whom he saw fit to receive.
Within week persons began to arrive
at the house in twos and threes; they
were from Salt Lake and held long
whispered conversations with my mys-
ferrous guest. at first l did not care
who or what he was until little by little
| gathered from stray reEn9rks that he
was a person of note, ana soon after
the truth burst upon me that he is none
other than Brigham Young, the great
prophet of our church, who is to ap-
parently be resurrected from the dead
and preach to the people of Zion, as one
having returned from the grave TO tell
what lies behind. That his death and
burial were only a deception will soon
be seen by the whole world. My only
reason for telling the facts is that l am
an old man, with but little gain in this
world, and don't want to see people
deluded as l have been. The Jezrels alb
sorbed my money, and now the Nor
mons have broken my faith"

The Alarm of War.

BERLIN, January 31.-Tbe committee
of the National Liberal party have is
sued manifesto to the electors. They
say: "Never since the Franco-German
war, has the danger of a great conflict
been so near. No statesman can form
any certain conclusion as to the future
even for a few weeks. The peace of
Europe rests at this moment solely
upon the strength, readiness for action
and moral trustworthiness of the Ger
man army. The National Liberals, con-
fident of the voice of universal suffrage,
will pronounce the right decision. An
unpropitious issue of the election vii
bring down upon the country war,
with all its terrors, and even its best
results, will be heavy losses"
The Post. semi-offieial, in a leading
arti Gle headed, "On the Edge of the
Knife" says: 1.-The portion of Genera i
Boulangeris now not only strengthened,
but is becoming unassailable."

Young Belmont Suicides.

New YORK, January 81. = Word
reached the police headquarters at 3
o'clock this morning that Raymond
Belmont, son of August Belmont, the
vell-known banker, had shot himself.
Young Belmont lived with his father at
No. 100 Fifth Avenue, and was associ-
ated with the Belmont banking house
at u Pine Street. In the evening Ray
lnond went out to dinner. He returned
shortly before l O'Clock this morning.
With him was Leonard Behr, night
Waterman with whom young Raymond
was well acquainted, and who fire.
Quently accompanied him home. They
went to the basement, where there was
a shooting gallery, in which young
Belmont, who was q very expert shot,
frequently praCtiCed. Here he also had
revolvers and guns. As they entered
the room, Young Belmont picked up a
double acting Smith G. WesSon revolver,
of 80 calibre, and turning to Behr, SAIL

quently seen the young man shoot,
and had great confidence in him, at
once agreed to do this. Before taking
up his position. however, young Bel
mont turned to him and said: "Oh. !
first close all the doors, so that the re-
port may not alarm father, wco is up
stairs" Thereupon Behr walked over
to the door, and had just put his hand
upon 1t, when he heard the report
Of a pistol. Turning, he saw young
Belmont falling to the floor, blood
gushing from the wound in the right
side Of his head. my God, Raymond"
he cried, what have you done2" He
lsid over the young man, who opened
his eyes and looking at him, tried to
speak, but could not. Behr aroused
August Belmont, the young mans
father, who was all alone in the house. !
Young Belmont died soon after. The |
bullet entered his brain. The coroner
found that the bullet had passed clear
through the skull, entering the right |
side of the head and coming out at the |
lett. The Waterman said the shooting was
accidental, but the coroner said all the |
indications pointed to suicide. 1t was
evident that young Belmont had taken |
considerable wine with his dinner. Mrs. |
Belmont is in Washington, with Con-
gresham Perry Belmont. She was |
notified by telegraph this morning.
Coroner Edwin said, to-day, that he
had no doubt but that the shooting of |
Belmont was due TO the accidental dis
charge Of the revolver. He made some
inquiries, and acquainted himself with |
the facts sufficient, taken In connection |
With other circumstances. to feel
assured that the case was not one of
suicide.
